His lordship commenced by saying that "a murder is seldom or never committed. without a motive, and if the prisoner were guilty, the whole evidence in this case, with one or two trifling exceptiens to be dealt with later, pointed to jealousy as the im- mediate cause. "In the' highly ingenious, and bril- liant defense set up by the learned counsel, it had been insisted on that each of these two persons believe(1 the other guilty; there was not one atom of proof to support this ;theory, ha fact, there was no title of positive evidence to support anything he tad put forward, with the exception of tbe drugged glass of ginger and water, and who was to peeve that Mrs. St. George did not place the choral in it herself ?

NOT "CARRIER" PIGEONS. It may be mentionedt here that the pigeons used in this work are not car- rier pigeons at ail in the usual sense of the word, for thoze birds are really unsuited for the work, the chief birds employed being of the "homer" variety. Valle sweeties for the breeding and improyement of pigeons exist in all countries, it is Belgium which produces the best birds. The meesages to be sent by the birds are usually attached to them in one of two ways, either to the under por- tlier/ of the tail featheror to one of their legs, and by these means the lords can tarry long messages without being unduly hampered by them. It is usual to sated the same message by several birds, so that .onte, at least, ie assured a reaching its destination. Previous to the earriere being sent off they are confined: in the dark for at least eight or ten hours, and are kept without food. When liberated the birds usually cirele around their temporary home for t-ome few mo- ments in abnless fashion, and then set off in the direotion of the plates, from which they have been bronght. While they have been known to fly at the rate of 100 miles an hour, their usual epe.ed is atbout a third of that. AST §,1 For,Infants ana Children. l'he fat- 'omattox 1143110 ig pa everp viranc.
